Supreme Court rules joint welfare programs must meet federal standards
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that states in joint federal state welfare programs must follow federal eligibility rules and may not impose narrower limits on beneficiaries. The court also held that for the federal ban on felon firearm possession, the government must prove the guns moved in interstate commerce. Illinois’ ADC stance on 18 to 20 year olds in school was struck down, with seven other states noted for similar limits. Justice Brennan cited equal protection concerns over Illinois’ classification.
